My Brothers' Keeper – Sheffield’s African-Caribbean Prostate Cancer Awareness Campaign
Prostate Cancer UK has funded a campaign to raise awareness of prostate cancer among African-Caribbean men in Sheffield. Approximately 1 in 4 African and African-Caribbean men in the UK is likely to get prostate cancer at some point in their life. The campaign will provide men with the information they need to make decisions about how to manage their risk of the disease.
The 10 awareness events will take place in various community venues across Sheffield.
Talks started on 28th October at Ecclesall Library and will conclude with an event at SADACCA Day Care Centre on 4th December. The campaign is delivered by a partnership between ‘Sheffield Action for African-Caribbean Health’ (SAACH) and Public Health, Sheffield City Council. The evaluation of this event is likely to inform Prostate Cancer UK’s programme of work for 2015-16.
